Mating is well underway here at Donald's Farm.

This is our first week into a 10 week round and 40% of the herd have been inseminated already

Fingers crossed for a successful mating season, 9 weeks to go.

CRV have very kindly given us all the semen for our Jersey cows.

Huge thanks to CRV for their continued support here at Donalds Farm. We were lucky enough to have Helen come along and assist us with our first herd test for the season.

Bridging the gap between urban and city folk one calf at a time.
Each year children from Brookby School have the opportunity to raise a calf on farm for their school Ag Day. They spent the entirety of Term 3 consistently showing up after school to spend time with their calves.
The children put so much time,love and care into their calves.
Of course it's not about the ribbons but we also love it when they can celebrate with their calves too.

A wee montage of our super star Jerseys at Brookby School Ag Day!

The kids worked incredibly hard and came out with some awesome results!

We at Donalds Farm are so incredibly proud of you all. We're glad to be able to offer such an opportunity to our community.

🚨 BUNNINGS BROUGHT REINFORCEMENTS. 🚨

Yesterday Anthony from Bunnings Botany returned to Donald’s Farm… but this time he clearly decided one man wasn’t enough.

So he brought the bloody whole crew with him!

Store Managers from G.I. right through to Takanini turned up ready to get stuck into some much-needed fence work. Armed with hammers, staples, insulators, gloves and an alarming amount of enthusiasm, they got stuck in and smashed out a heap of work.

Meanwhile, Bryan had another squad deployed on the farm’s most wanted list…

🌿 WOOLLY NIGHTSHADE. 🌿

That bloody stuff has been causing trouble, so the weed-whacking crew went in for the takedown.

Honestly, there’s nothing quite like having a bunch of Bunnings managers turn up on the farm and voluntarily pick up hammers and pull weeds. We’re not sure what they were promised, but we’re absolutely not asking.

A massive thank you to Anthony and the entire Bunnings crew for giving up their time, getting their hands dirty and helping us get a few jobs ticked off the never-ending farm list.

Because around here…

TEAMWORK MAKES THE DONALD’S FARM DREAM WORK. 🐄🔨🌿

And apparently so does Bunnings.

The results are in!!

Our Shorthorn,Marama, is a whopping 92.5kg!!

Someone was only 200g out from her weight when playing the guessing game! This pretty girl is one of only 2 replacement shorthorns that came thru this season. Her buddy is much younger than her and has some serious growing up to do to catch up with her 😉

Marama was born July 6th,she's a cuddly calf and a real little sookie. We're looking forward to raising her here at Donalds Farm. We hope she still LOVES cuddles when she's a big girl!
